Hi,
This is kind of a suggestion.
In the most recent versions of RouterOS (6.34.6 and 6.35.4), if you add the ethernet port you are plugged into, to a bridge, it disconnects you from the router.
Could we revert back to the way this used to behave in older versions (e.g. 6.32.4 didn’t have this problem). It causes a lot of problems for our installers who program our customer routers using a script.
Thanks
I assume you are connecting to MAC address. In this case you are disconnected only if bridge mac address is not the same as Ethernet MAC and such behaviour was on any ROS version.
Yes, this is connected via MAC-Telnet
It never used to disconnect on 6.32.4 and below. Just re-tested this, but on 6.34.6 and 6.35.4 it does
However I do see what you are saying by the MAC Address of what i’m connected to changes because I’m now using the MAC of the bridge
But for some reason, it never used to disconnect you until these recent versions…
Below is an example for 6.35.4
[admin@MikroTik] > /interface ethernet print

That is where i get disconnected
(and yes, that bridge already has the MAC Address from ether1, because I had just removed all ports from that bridge, to use in this example)
On 6.32.4

I can do all that without getting disconnected from the router at all, and you can see that I am plugged into ether5, and the mac address of the bridge chooses the MAC for ether1 as the MAC for the bridge. So the MAC Address I’m connected to via MAC-Telnet did change. But for some reason, all RouterOS versions up to 6.32.4 do not disconnect you when doing so.
Actually i do remember one other odd version (6.31.x I believe that disconnected you too, but that was soon corrected in the 6.32.x versions)
What changed that no longer allows you to stay connected after adding that port? And can that change be reverted in future RouterOS versions?
Thanks
